Some of you guys are **** babies. Get over it. The deal is done let's move forward with what we have and build though draft's and trades. I'm excited for the upcoming season, the young guys will get plenty of run and we can see what we have.

Well no more excuses for Dwight in LA and I can't wait for TMZ to be all over him once he pops out a couple more kids.

I am excited too, its a new chapter in the organization. It's just he's been one of my favorite players since he came into the NBA and to see how much he changed, how bad he betrayed the organization, and just the way he went about putting the organization hostage, really, really sucks.

For some reason, I do not think things will work out for him like he thinks in L.A.

As hard as this deal is given the compensation, it's time to move forward.

This is exactly where I am on this. Looking forward to seeing what team we end up with on the floor come October.

At least they'll all want to be here.

So you guys are still excited about the future knowing that the GM of the worst trade in NBA history is at the helm until further notice? Even after looking at the current team and seeing that there is nothing there? Where is the excitement coming from?

We are hoping he really does have an eye for talent, and we get a gem or two out of these rookies. Too soon to judge, seeing as how so far, he is going the route of OKC and Spurs. Which isn't a bad route at all. Just going to have to be patient.

This.

Dwight is dead to me now. I'm looking forward to when we play them and also when the Lakers play San Antonio as I'll be going to those games and really letting him know how I feel.

Change was needed, so, we see how things pan out in October.

So he is hoping to get a Durant or Duncan, plus a Robinson to come back from back surgery? Yep. He is fired in 2 years tops if he is going that route.

Didn't they say the same thing about the Pau Gasol trade?

Not from what I saw, but I only saw the part where he was being his normal phoney self. What got me though was how he was acting shocked that people in LA would welcome him with open arms. Man this guy is such a fake.

Rob might have made the worst trade in NBA history, but you can't judge it yet, and he might have taken the best one available.

This is the part where i wish this was a video game and I could just sim the season and go straight to the draft

The Magic GM isnt RC Buford or Sam Presti if this trade is any indication. He basically got a 15th round pick(Harkless) and 3 protected 1st rounders for Howard. That is horrible.....ridiculously horrible. When Bynum, Gasol, and Iggy are in play and you cant land any of them in a deal involving Howard....that is beyond bad.
